6+1 Trait® Writing Introductory Institute (Grand Rapids, MI)August 5–8, 2008
Implemented in thousands of classrooms worldwide, the 6+1 Trait Writing Model of Instruction & Assessment is a powerful framework designed to help teachers use a common language to refer to characteristics of writing as well as create a common vision of what good writing looks like. Students like the model because it guides them in pinpointing areas of strength and weakness as they continue to improve their writing.
Teachers will be introduced to this popular analytic writing instruction and assessment model—providing them with strategies to help students identify quality in writing, manage their own writing process, practice effective revision and editing skills, and become confident writers.
